upgraded (via preupgrade) to F17 on Saturday and the xorg crashes are
too frequent. The number of bug reports on bugzilla, just from today
(mostly from abrt) simply make it difficult for me to try to make any
sense of them:
(long bugzilla search/sort, not recommended link)
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?bug_status=__open__&content=firefox%20xorg&product=Fedora&query_format=specific&order=changeddate%20DESC%2Crelevance%20DESC&query_based_on=
So a simple description of my setup is...
F17
22" monitor
Nouveau driver with a small xorg.conf because I will max out at 1024x768
unless I have the xorg.conf but the contents are simple [1]
Seems if I try to use Firefox, I am certain to crash xorg.
Seems if I try to copy graphics from Gimp and then paste into
LibreOffice Writer, I am certain to crash xorg
Perhaps someone has been able to solve this issue in a less than perfect
way as it seems to a problem with certain hardware combinations and the
current xorg so I'm putting this on list.
